             Appeal No. 2005-1173                                                          Page 7               
             Application No. 10/134,793                                                                         



             extension of the plug by the magnet.  This scraping may lead to damage of the ceramic              
             part which, even if only slight, causes the plug not to function.                                  


                   The aim of the Bogni's invention was to overcome that disadvantages of the prior             
             art, and to reduce the likelihood of the ceramic part of the plug scraping against the box         
             spanner and therefore to reduce the likelihood of damage to the plug.  This aim was                
             achieved by means of a box spanner with a device for retaining the object to be turned             
             with an end which can be connected to auxiliary turning tools and at the open end an               
             internal polygonal seat which can mate with the polygonal body of the object to be                 
             turned, characterized in that the polygonal seat of given spanner opening is followed by           
             a hollow space which is delimited by the body of the box and has a transverse width                
             essentially comparable with the spanner opening of the polygonal seat, and in that, in             
             the sides of the polygonal seat, the body of the box has housings which accommodate                
             permanent magnets.  Advantageously, the permanent magnets are located in the                       
             adjacent sides of the polygonal seat and extend around half the perimeter of the                   
             polygon.                                                                                           


                   Morrissey's invention relates to an open, box end, or combination wrench which               
             incorporates the use of spring loaded plungers to retain a nut in the wrench.  The design          
             facilitates adjustable pressure by which the user can adjust the amount of spring tension
